As someone who recently adopted Honeycomb, it really is an amazing tool. Especially with otel auto-instrumentation, you get insights within a few hours. The dashboard / query features are very powerful and obviously stem from a deep philosophical understanding of observability. My team was shocked at how good the tools is.

Datadog by contrast seems to be driven by marketing and companies having a "observability" checkbox to tick.

Which programming languages are you using with the OTel auto-instrumentation feature?

Node and Python. It's amazing how much works out of the box - express routes, http queries, dns queries, the list goes on
